A soulmate is more precious than kin, offering silent support and helping you through hardships. If fortune grants you such a companion, cherish them dearly. Life is rarely smooth, wealth is not guaranteed, and emotions may not last forever.
One must master the art of self-adjustment. Anything can be transformed if you learn to pivot and adapt. Adding a layer of clothing when it's cold or eating when hungry are simple forms of adjustment. Those who can adapt to themselves can reach higher realms in life, relationships, and character.
The rivers of life follow different paths: some rise and fall with many turns, some vary in width, some start turbulent and then calm, and others remain gentle and long. Some change from clear to muddy, some turn when meeting obstacles, and some carry bitter flavors. Not every path is straight or smooth, yet every path has its own journey.
Balzac once said, "Misfortune is the stepping stone of genius, the baptismal water of believers, and the bottomless abyss of the weak." After the storm, the sky and water merge in beauty; after passing through thorns, a grand path awaits; upon reaching the summit, a sea of clouds lies beneath your feet.
The red bricks serving as the foundation bear the heaviest pressure without complaint; the bricks at the top hold the highest position but never grow proud, instead, they align themselves with the foundation to weather the elements together.
Sometimes, someone's indifference is simply because they are with someone more important or occupied with something more pressing. Sometimes, it is not that one has grown used to rejection, but rather the fear that the loneliness after letting go will be too much to bear. If you never possessed it, you need not fear losing it.
